The Home of Australian Craft Beer

One of The Crafty Pint's favourite beer festivals returns to Brisbane for a fifth time in March as Brewsvegas takes place across 50 venues.

The 2018 running of the annual celebration of the city's vibrant beer community features 70 events, kicking off with the Brewsvegas Launch Party on March 9 and running through to March 18.

Festival co-founder Ben Nichols says: "We’re pretty stoked that our rag tag group of Brisbane bar owners has managed to get our fifth Brewsvegas and also to see so many venues and breweries that have been part of it every one of those years.

"A score of new breweries have opened up across Queensland over the last year, so we’re hoping to see a lot of new faces and to try a slew of new things ourselves!”

The full program is available here and we're excited to tell you that Pint of Origin is back after debuting there in 2017 with even more venues and beers on board.

The Crafty Pint is an independent online magazine and resource for anyone interested in craft beer in Australia. We bring an honest, old-fashioned journalistic approach to beer's brave new world, telling stories because they're worth telling not because someone is paying us to write them.

Like many of the people who have changed the face of beer in Australia, we believe in authenticity, integrity, enjoyment and love. We hope to play a role in helping good beer, brewed by good people, find its way into the hands of more drinkers.
